ASSESSMENT CENTRE TIPS & MY EXPERIENCE | GROUP EXERCISE, INTERVIEW, PRESENTATION

[@anji5217]

I promised myself I'd come back to this video whether I got the job or not. This was the last video I watched before I went to sleep the day before my assessment centre. I was so nervous and watched a lot of videos but nothing could calm me down. When I watched this, I immediately felt like everything would be ok. Three days later I was invited to the final interview and yesterday I finally signed the offer. Thank you so much!

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I FOLLOWED YOUR TIPS AND PASSED THE ASSESSMENT CENTRE AND GOT THE JOB 😭😭😭 I HAVE BEEN JOBLESS FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR. I’M GLAD I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO BEFORE THE ASSESSMENT CENTRE 😭😭😭😭

[@DonFriend497]

Were you unsuccessful in the grad schemes while in third year then did them again after graduating then succeeded then? I’m currently in that position 😭 I’ve lost hope on grad schemes tbh 😩 congrats on landing the job btw!

[@geekafreak]

@@DonFriend497 I used to be really poor at applying for grad jobs but I got a bit of work experience and am applying for grad jobs 6 years later, and now I have an understanding of what employers want and the tests seem much easier to me, I have a few ACs lined up. Don't give up. Look on youtube, career vidz has good info on interview techniques, practice free numerical reasoning. Go through your CV and think about what youve done for answers to competency based questions (doing more jobs even the lowest paid jobs will give you competency examples). Look on YT for strength based answers and walk throughs on situational judgement tests. Look for information on logic tests and video interviews then keep practicing. Make sure that you can say why you want the job and study each company like you would for a test. It sound like a lot but we have time You're already doing the right thing by watching this video. Good luck

[@valentineeze3414]

How did you get materials for the verbal and Numerical tests.

[@geekafreak]

@@DonFriend497 Yes flunked scheme applications in my 3rd year. Then got a bog standard job for a few years, reapplied without much effort and started passing schemes so then I started putting the effort in and will start my scheme later on in the year. I think that having life and work experience somehow helps. Maybe because you get a better idea as to what employers are looking for. Honestly spend the summer working whatever job you can find and every week spend an hour practicing your situational judgement tests, numerical reasoning tests (practice being fast using calculator functions), verbal reasoning, understanding competencies, video interviews and apply to as many schemes as you can, from October. There are lots of free tests online. Prospects.ac.uk, milkround, nhs and government are great places to look. Alternatively there are lots of kickstart schemes this year. You should apply for these as ive seen some amazing opportunities to get into great industries. It will be valuable even if you ultimately leave to change industries or get on a graduate scheme.

[@SS-mt3vx]

@@geekafreak hey how many years after graduation is too late to apply for grad schemes? This is my first year applying but i heard some schemes dont allow you to apply 2 years after graduation

Thank you so, so much for this video!! I followed your advice about faking confidence until I felt confident and stuff and I got the job!!! I've been unemployed for years, I can't believe I finally have a job. :) Near the end, the guy was going around and pulling people out and then they'd come back and get their stuff and leave and I so fucking expected him to tap me on the shoulder omg, I was so shocked when he went back to the front and told the rest of us that we'd been successful. I'm so happy. This video helped a ton honestly. :)

[@simina1197]

“Fake it till you make it”😂😂😂 I just love it. I am very confident but when it comes to job interviews I am extremely shy.

[@Harihar_Patel]

People can be quite nasty at assessment centres, especially in group exercises. It's dog eat dog there and people will constantly talk over you just to get one up on everyone. If you stay quiet, yes you will fail, that's why it's best to take a lead in these sort of exercises. I've only done one assessment centre in my life and I failed that as well, but I'm on a PhD programme now so I will live in a university for the rest of my life, haha.

[@AudAkos]

TheMightyHarihar That's what puts me off from applying to graduate schemes but it's still good to learn about them.

[@Harihar_Patel]

I do still recommend you apply to graduate schemes, you may get lucky. Usually graduate schemes last for 2-3 years and they put you on rotation, so you work in all the departments of your field. It's a good sort of paid work experience. If you end up going down the PhD route, your age can quickly catch up to you and you may feel stupid applying for a grad scheme at 26/27. That's why a lot of PhD's do stay in academia, rather than go into the corporate world. Though there are places that hire PhD's, but you need to show work experience as well.

[@annmalik4897]

TheMightyHarihar how to take the lead cod u shed some light on it plz ?thx

[@bensharp6759]

ann malik In my experience people were very polite but you could also tell they were focusing on taking charge. Just be confident, it is nothing to worry about. I'm quite sociable so I made friends pretty easily with my group. Don't be cock or arrogant but definitely put ideas forward and communicate clearly. The interviews are a walk in the park, the main key is confidence. You can be as nervous as you like on the inside (I was and it's extremely natural) but they need to know you can work well in a team as well as individually. Hope this helps

[@AudAkos]

This will be helpful to me if I go to an assessment centre. To be honest I really hate them but I'm glad you got a job through one.

[@Streetorvintage]

Ah I agree, they are pretty stressful/nerve-wracking tbf! good luck if/when you go to one!!

[@AudAkos]

Thank you!

[@mohamedzaki7127]

Really good points and great advice. In one assessment I spoke too soon and in trying to show initiative and a functioning brain I took charge and suggested the most ideas but also listened to everyone and asked others for suggestions. However the damage was done and it was my downfall. Listen to others first and speak up after. If everyone is silent then calmly suggest an idea. The thing is also that I was overqualified for the job. Not to sound arrogant but sometimes u can't fake wanting a job unless ur a really good actor and know exactly what they're looking for. Either way what happened was great for me because now I have a much better opportunity and closer to home. I hope this time I nail it. Stay confident but respectful, proactive but friendly, organised and focused and you'll be absolutely fine. Wish me luck.

Hi there Ela! Thanks for the great tips! I must say we had very similar experiences with assessment centres. I also flopped my first one, I consider myself quite extroverted and have no trouble talking with others but damn, I did not show that in my first assessment centre. Nerves took over and I think I just got intimidated by how much my other team members knew about the topic. My second assessment was so much better but unfortunately I did not get accepted :(. I have my third one this coming week, wish me luck everyone!

As I understand it it’s going to be just a few people but it may also have more candidates coming from different agencies so im trying to figure out how a group exercise would even run if it ends up just being the two of us? That could be a little intense. I suppose it’s the same as there being half a dozen people though?
